Getting Started

Learn how to build, customize, and deploy your first GLIK Cloud app using visual blocks and ready-made templates.

This section will walk you through the essential steps to build your first app in GLIK Cloud. Whether you're cloning a ready-made template or building from scratch, these fundamentals will help you get up and running fast.

How to Create Your First App

1. Visit app.glik.ai and log in.

2. From the dashboard, click New App.

3. Choose how you want to start:

   • Create from Blank – Build your app block-by-block from scratch

   • Create from Template – Clone a prebuilt GLIK app with example workflows

   • Import DSL file – Upload a previously exported GLIK app using the DSL format

4. Select an app type:

   • Chatbot – Input/output-based logic

   • Agent – Stateful workflows with memory

   • Advanced Chat – Multi-turn assistant

   • Workflow – Modular blocks connected in a visual graph

5. Name your app and assign it to a workspace.

6. Click Create to launch the visual builder.

Create from Blank lets you choose the app type, name, and optional icon before launching the editor.

Understanding App Types

App Type	Description	Best For
Chatbot	Simple input-output flow	FAQ bots, basic Q&A
Agent	Multi-step with memory and logic	Process automation, memory agents
Advanced Chat	Rich, multi-turn assistant with persistent memory	Personalized assistants, copilots
Workflow	Visual flow of blocks (LLM, tool, assigner, etc.)	Complex orchestration, custom logic

Blocks & Nodes

GLIK apps are composed of blocks and nodes. Each block or node performs a specific function in the flow.

Common block types:

• Input Block – Captures user prompts or system inputs

• LLM Block – Generates AI responses using models like GPT

• Variable Assigner – Creates or updates scoped variables

• Data Enrichment – Writes summaries or tags to Knowledge

• Knowledge Retrieval – Queries memory by tags or text

• Tool Node – Calls external APIs or plugins (via OpenAPI)

• Answer Block – Displays final response to the user

Drag, connect, and configure blocks to build logic visually — no code needed.

Using Templates

You can launch production-ready apps in minutes using GLIK’s template library.

To use a template:

1. Go to the Explore tab at app.glik.ai
2. Find a template by tag or category (e.g., “Knowledge Companion”)

3. Click Clone, then customize the blocks and variables

4. Save and run it as your own application

Templates come preconfigured with:

• Data built-in memory bindings and enrichment logic

• Predefined variable flows

• Strategic prompts and workflows
